Travel guide Mombasa

There are direct flights from Europe to Nairobi and Mombasa. The two cities are connected by several daily flights. The capital is 440 km from Mombasa by the A109 road, crossing through the Tsavo Natural Park. A railway also connects Nairobi and Mombasa. Please note that it is not allowed to enter national parks without a guide for safety and environmental protection reasons, so you will always have to go through a local agency, large or small. In solo, of course, you will be able to go further off the beaten track. Generally a safari organized for one or two people is much more expensive than a group safari.

Safaris in Tsavo reserves are on the menu of all travel agencies. It is the means of transport that differs from one safari to another, in a 4x4, on foot, on horseback, on motorcycle or even in a hot air balloon. Accommodation during safaris is provided in campsites or even lodges in or near reserves. Many agencies offer trips combining safaris and beach breaks on the beaches of the Indian Ocean in Mombasa.

Attention: in Kenya we drive on the left! It is easy to travel in the south of the country by public transport. Buses are generally reliable, comfortable and punctual. The road network is quite dense even if the roads are sometimes related to tracks, which is a problem in the rainy season. The train connects Mombasa and Nairobi. The two cities are also connected by air.
